Hard Traveling✓

I've been doing some hard traveling, I thought you knowed

I've been doing some hard traveling, way down the road

I've been doing some hard traveling, hard drinking, hard gambling

I've been doing some hard traveling, Lord

I've been doing some hard rock mining, I thought you knowed

I've been leaning on a pressure drill, way down the road

Well the hammer flying and the air hose sucking

And six feet of mud, and I sure been a-ducking, Lord

I've been riding them fast passengers, I thought you knowed

I've been hitting them flat wheelers, way down the road

I've been riding them blind passengers, dead-enders, kicking up cinders

I've been doing some hard traveling, Lord

I've been laying in a hard rock jail, I thought you knowed

I've been laying out ninety days, way down the road

Darned old judge he said to me, it's ninety days for vagrancy

And I've been doing some hard traveling, Lord

I've been doing some hard harvesting, I thought you knowed

From North Dakota to Kansas City, way down the road

Cutting that wheat and stacking that hay, trying to make a dollar a day

And I've been doing some hard traveling, Lord

I've been walking that Lincoln highway, I thought you knowed

I've been hitching on sixty-six, way down the road

Got a heavy load, got a worried mind, looking for a woman that's hard to find

And I've been doing some hard traveling, Lord
